It sounds like liberal clap trap but I honestly think that the solution is better education and less nannying by the state. I for one don't want to get myself in a situation whereby I am dependant upon anyone else, let alone state handouts - this seems not to be a mindset shared by most, but it should be - by everyone.
Education is definitely a key element, hopefully this can be achieved through schools and via parents. The problem is the imbalance in the resources available in giving positive messages, as opposed to the million spent my advertisers encouraging us to consume junk. I can't see any government ever being prepared to seriously curtail advertising of junk food and general poor lifestyles. To be honest I'm not sure I would want them to either, it all sounds a bit too big brother like to me.
